| Abstract: |
Objective-prism surveys for UV-excess and emission-line galaxies, especially the First and Second Byurakan Surveys, have been central to the study of active galactic nuclei (AGN). In this talk, I will review previous line-selected surveys for AGN and discuss their contribution to our understanding of the AGN phenomena. In addition, I will present results from the KPNO International Spectroscopic Survey, a modern all-digital objective-prism survey for emission line objects. This survey is discovering substantial numbers of new AGNs, in particular low-luminosity AGNs and LINERS. |
